“A large solar-powered AI satellite constellation would be able to prevent global warming by making tiny adjustments in how much solar energy reached Earth,” Musk tweeted, apropos of seemingly nothing.

“It would only take tiny adjustments to prevent global warming or global cooling for that matter,” he added. “Earth has been a snowball many times in the past.”

Ooohhh, more lies out of the mouth of Elon? You don't say!

Well if his Mars target dates are anything to go by (2018 first feet on Mars, right? And where are we with that now? Maybe but not even 1%) then this project would be completed by the year 2489

Fuck it. Let's just make a Dyson sphere. If you can already circle the planet with enough satellites to cool it while letting plants still grow you're well on your way

The sun is a bit bigger than the earth. Dyson sphere goes around the star, not the planet.
